                Advantages of Using Silica Fume
High early compressive strengthHigh tensile flexural strength and modulus of elasticityVery low permeability to chloride and water intrusionEnhanced durabilityIncreased toughnessIncreased abrasion resistance on decks, floors, overlays and marine structuresSuperior resistance to chemical attack from chlorides, acids, nitrates and sulfates and life-cycle cost efficienciesHigher bond strengthHigh electrical resistivity and low permeability |
